Planet of Extinct

"Dude, what the hell happened to you? What's all this" Nishan shouted at the might of his lungs. If only his shout-out could change at least the place of Saish's finger it would have been helpful, but Saish was high on sleep. 😴

Nishan gazed at him for quite a time. Then it hit him "Oh god". He moved to him inch by inch, taking careful steps, and proceeded his hand towards his nose. Nishan's heart only resumed thudding when he felt the hot gush of air on his index finger.

"Bro, please stop doing this to me" he shook the hell out of Saish, which forced him to make an irritated groan. "WAKE UP!!" Nishan cried out.

"What is it, dumb human?" Saish mumbled still with his eyes closed.

"What's all this? When, where and how did you get all these?"

"From birth, from my mother and ask her how"

"What?!" Nishan sounded like the exam had an out-of-syllabus question, all perplexed.

"I got my looks from birth", Saish replied nonchalantly.

That's it, Saish made him run out of the patience he had. Nishan grabbed the blanket and jerked it off making Saish land on the floor as it was stuck under him.

"Uh-" Saish groaned. He landed on the injured hand. "It hurt, asshole."

"Of course it will. I didn't put in so much effort for you to have a peaceful landing. Shut it and explain this shit" Nishan demanded.

"What?" Saish asked still with his eyes closed.

"You are asking for it" Nishan was ready to throw a punch.

Saish sat right, annoyed and saw where the frustrated human was pointing. He looked down. That's exactly when he realised he messed up. His eyes grew wide.

"Shit"

Now how in the world is he going to explain how he got those wounds? Nishan was with him the whole day yesterday, even just before going to sleep. 😬

Saish thought long and hard for a good excuse after cursing himself for sleeping unbothered instead of waking up early or covering himself with the duvet.

"I.....I went to get some fresh air and..fell....fell off the wall and rolled over.......and got hurt. It makes sense, right?" Saish uttered nervously. He wanted to keep his cool and act normal but his nerves were going wild.

Nishan peered at him with suspicion. He was judging him, judging him hard.

"So, you say you went out and fell off the wall. What were you doing on the wall in the first place? And also when the hell did you go out?"

"Wall is a bit high so I thought I would get more air" There goes some randomness. Saish said whatever he wanted at this point.

"It's the lamest thing I have ever heard and you look like the most stupid person ever to exist. You know that right?" Nishan stated, gritting teeth. But Saish put on a most offended expression.

"That's what happened. I can't change it," Saish said, not visibly sulking, but he was sulking. Where can he get new ideas to say some bullshit every day? This smart guy in front, who never uses his brain when needed, is using all he has now to interrogate how Saish got hurt.

"Grow up man. Will you? Now tell me how are you going to cover them?" Nishan asked after seeing Saish losing his will to live.

"We have full-sleeve shirts", said Saish, walking to the washroom after grabbing his towel.

Thanks to Saish, who spent the most time in the washroom pondering about his life choices. They were about to get late. Nishan had to barge into their neighbour's room to freshen up. After the first 15 minutes of being on standby, Nishan gave up on knocking on the door.
